Chapter 32: Not very smart(1/2)
Almost half a century ago, few people would have gone so deep into the territory of the Lizardman tribe, the Lake of Tears, or the rainforest areas.
Although the Lizards had long surrendered to Kaurin-Ishurien, only a few explorers would go to this country to find the secret treasures in the rainforest, or bring back the mysterious and cold curse of the ancient kingdom of Cinsas.
Many famous explorers in history died in this rainforest, such as Ms. Ife Adelaide, the recipient of the Royal Geographical Society's Medal of Honor, and Lord Pier de Grossle; yes, the latter is the owner of the surname Fang Ling, who is familiar to him. This person from almost two hundred years ago is said to have died in the ancient curse. Now it seems that the curse has harmed his descendants, and finally caused the surname Grossle to die in disgrace two centuries later, and even the last bloodline inheritance was passed down to the hands of an outsider.
Of course, this is just an exaggeration. The ancient curse of Cinsas is frightened by the fact that it is mostly due to people's rumors. What is said behind it is nothing more than the mystery of this ancient rainforest.
To this day, the warriors are still only the giants on another giant island compared to the kingdom. The believers of the dark dragon are among them, and this is fully revealed in the Toragtos incident. But unlike the southern border, the Kaurin people will not start the war in the far south, because first of all, the army is difficult to enter. Even if the fleet overcomes many difficulties such as miasma, epidemics and disagreement, they cannot station this land for a long time. Compared with other areas of Kaurin-Ishurien, even if they are culturally different from Istaniya and Evin Quinn, Nognes is more like a wild land in an exotic area.
However, what is different from the past is that since the callers arrived in this world, this wilderness has become much more lively. Now the explorers' pace has not only reached the Lake of Tears, but also passed through the rainforest, and even crossed the Kailano Mountain Pass, and penetrated into the Asuka Rainforest swamp that was far west of the Old World Ladder, and for the first time it penetrated into the hinterland of the Blood Lizard tribe and the Tada Kingdom.
If you have to say the reason, it is probably because the Paparals who had been cursed by Cinsas once could survive by chance - the candidates seemed to be born with a bold and tough life; although sometimes this is just an illusion, stupid and bold are indeed one of the most famous labels of this group.
Fang Zhu stood at the intersection of a street, watching the line of animal-skinned tents extending endlessly, it was hard to say anything about the whole Pachiva. It seemed to grow freely, spreading along the Lake of Tears of Obey. After the shower, the road was muddy, and there were still a few duckweeds in the puddle, with a rainforest frog standing on it.
The tent of the lizard man is standing in a place where he can still stay. This is a trade zone. Almost every lizard man is doing business with outsiders. The customers are adventurers who go deep into this place as mentioned above.
There are some plant roots, stems, seeds and barks, as well as ore and crystals that cannot be called on the square plucks, and there are many different types of plant roots, stems, seeds and barks, as well as ore and crystals. But more than once, people who have been here can easily tell which are real good things. They communicate with the lizards with tattoos on their arms with gestures, and soon reach an agreement with the stall owners and trade them with gold and silver to get what they need.
Not far away, Reed lifted the door of a tent and walked out.
He walked over and said, "Ed, I found out that the lizards did not know where to get a batch of earth source crystals; from a time point of view, maybe the earth source crystals of the Arts Controversy Guild - the one we have now gotten now, have the same source. However, I have also found something more interesting than your news."
The big cat man said, taking out his pipe, igniting a match, and shaking off the sparks.
He said these words without looking back, as if he was chatting with Fang Yu.
However, after hearing this, Fang Yu couldn't help but look back at the other person.
"You should be clear that in the past century, Nognes has produced nearly 60% of the soil source crystals in the entire Kaolin Continent. When the Kaolin people went south to occupy this land, they also took a fancy to the huge wealth contained in its strata."
Fang Zhu nodded slightly. Nognes is the soil crystal production area of Kaolin-Ishurien. There are several huge veins underground, which is well known. However, most of these veins are in the hands of the Kaolin Kingdom. The candidates have only owned the ownership of some poor mines in the past thirty years.
"Let's talk as we go," Reed looked around with his pipe in his mouth, "I might encounter some rare good things in such a place."
"Mr. Reed, you are here again." Fang Yu sighed. Most of the people with such thoughts were fooled in the end.
The market here has been formed for quite a long time. Even though some people have indeed bought valuable valuable items from lizard people earlier, over time, both buyers and sellers have learned it.
Reed smiled slightly and said, "Ed, you have to learn to expect something to happen so that you will have surprises. Most people have fallen into this place, but there are always exceptions. Look at the Cinsas Snake Man in this rain forest, which has left countless treasures."
"I just know that someone bought a magic weapon from the Snakeman Age to go back."
Reid laughed, "That's because Parker himself didn't learn history well."
"Let's go back to the point, Mr. Reid."
"Okay, it's actually related to the output of the earth element crystal veins. Over the past decade, the yield and quality of the earth element crystal of Nognes has dropped significantly," the big cat man turned around and looked at him, "Do you know what this means?"
“Norgnes’ Ethernet network is weakening?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Red nodded.
"In most parts of the world, the Ethernet network has been significantly decayed in the past fifty years. At the earliest, the Star and Moon Council used the twelve-ring spells as the standard for the great magicians and elves, but in recent years, it has actually been reduced to the eleventh ring, because fewer and fewer people can cast spells above the tenth ring."
"But the lifespan of the floating continent will come to an end, which is why countries are keen on developing the second world. This process is very slow, and we may not necessarily see it in our lifetime. But I am not talking about this, Ed."
"The Lizard man said that the production of crystals in the entire Nognes range has been greatly reduced in the past three months. The production of Guy crystals has also decreased. There are several guild mines that even produce zero output, so the price of earth source crystals will rise in the market. This is a bit unusual. I suspect that someone is making trouble behind it, and some people take advantage of the turmoil in the southern border, and the Korlins have no time to take care of Nognes's opportunity to draw strength from the Ethernet veins underground in Nognes."
Fang Yu opened his mouth slightly because it sounded too incredible.
"This sounds incredible, but it's not impossible. You should still remember everything that happened on Fenris Island. Moreover, where magic power gathers in large quantities is the best environment for crystal growth. It's not surprising that high-quality soil source crystals grow there if the entire magic power extracted by Nognes gathers in one place."
The big cat man held his pipe with his claws and sprayed a mouthful of clouds. He said.
"You mean," Fang Zhu was a little surprised when he heard it, "Someone set up a node in Nognes to extract the magic of earth element? And where did the Art Controversy Guild and the Lizards get this batch of earth source crystals?"
"This is just a guess, but it's very likely."
“It sounds a bit disturbing.”
"Indeed, the unrest and political struggles in an area attracted the full attention of this ancient kingdom. Out of people's sight, the border areas of the kingdom were lurking, and evil spirits were rippling," Reed touched his chin, "this sounds familiar."
Fang Yu looked at him unexpectedly.
The big cat man replied lightly, "I'll find an opportunity to tell you the story about Rotao. How about it, what do you think now?"
Fang Yu pondered for a moment, "I suddenly became a little curious about the origin of those earth source crystals."
"It's easy to find out their origins," said the Big Catman. "How about you, are you going to send Miss Betty to Goland?"
Fang Yu nodded. This unexpected news made him change his decision. He vaguely felt that behind the turmoil in the southern border, Istaniya was related to these unusual movements of Nognes.
Even though the Qihai Brigade was too busy to take care of itself, a voice told him that it was at least necessary to investigate.
The two of them walked around the market, and the Lion Paladin always claimed along the way that they had discovered something real good:
"This is an ancient peat that the wizards use to make scribble, and the Sinsas Snakes think it contains mysterious magic."
"That's just a rumor, Mr. Reid, this is just an ordinary stone."
"Then this ancient Cinthas coin is a rare collection."
"The Cinsas Snake Man trades gold, jade and crystal, and they have no currency."
"Ha, I'm just testing you whether you are a captain or not."
"Oh, Mr. Reid, you have the final say."
Fang Yu sighed.
However, the Big Cat Man really just said he wouldn't buy it, as if he was looking for happiness with him. In the end, he bought a batch of plant roots from a lizard man that he couldn't name.
Fang Zhu looked at the black roots and asked, "What is this? The magical plant of the Cinsas Snake Man?"
"That's not," said the Big Catman with a big laugh, "but they are my magical plant, a rare tobacco that they are made by drying them in a special way. The flaky tobacco they get has a very special flavor. I thought there was only such a thing in Rotao, but I didn't expect there to be some here too."
"Be careful of your lungs, Mr. Big Catman," Fang Zhu shook his head, "It will be good for you to smoke less."
"Your tone is very close to Aitela. Maybe you are really her brother, because whether you believe it or not, maybe each of us has his own shadow in another world." Reid looked at him, "In addition to hair color and ears, you look almost exactly the same as her brother. Maybe there is another me in your world."
"Our world has no lions, Mr. Reid."
"Oh, is that?" The Lion Man burst into laughter, not expecting that his theory would be self-defeating so quickly.
Fang Yu suddenly realized that there was no lion in his world, but there was a male lion. He then imagined a lion crawling on the grassland with a pipe in his mouth, and the style of painting collapsed for a moment.
He was thinking about these absurd things, but the big cat man on the side exclaimed softly, threw him away and walked forward quickly.
Fang Zhu was a little surprised, and then he followed him to find that the Lion Paladin came to a stall, his eyes falling on a bronze shield.
"What is this?" he was a little angry, "Is it a magic weapon from the Cinsas era?"
"It's not that there's no possibility, Ed," the big cat man rubbed his chin and narrowed his silver-gray eyes. "Or you go and negotiate with the owner and ask how this shield came from?"
"But there were no magic weapons in the era of Sinsas."
"That's right, you haven't confirmed it, how could you know, Ed?"
This still needs to be confirmed? The recent magic weapon was born after the invention of alchemy, and at that time, the Cinthas Snake Man had long become history.
But Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and suddenly heard something from the big cat man's words. He turned around and saw a meaningful look at him.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He hesitated for a moment before walking forward, using gestures to negotiate with the lizard man, and asked if he could look at the shield.
He has a strong learning ability and spent a few days here and almost learned the gesture language between the Lizard Man and the Summoner.
Use your fingers to add fists to ask for the price, check that the goods are facing upwards, and then point to what you want to see.
Before obtaining the owner's permission, rushing the goods here will cause disputes.
The lizard man looked at him with his vertical pupils on his colorful face, nodded a little coldly, indicating permission.
Fang Yu picked up the shield. No matter how he thought it was, it was just an ordinary shield. But just as he was about to turn the shield over, he was suddenly stunned.
That's a sword.
All his previous attention was attracted by this shield, and he did not pay any attention to the fact that there was a sword under the shield.
Of course, it is also because the sword looks too ordinary. Its blade is rusty, and it looks like a broken copper and iron fished out from the swamp. The only thing that is well preserved is probably the only handguard left, but it is pitch black.
Fang Yu's heart moved and used his hand to touch the hilt of the sword. A pattern of complex patterns like a ball of blooming wild roses suddenly came into his eyes.
He knew this herald, called the Brielle Emblem. Of course, there is no such an ancient surname in the human world. This name actually represents a fairy clan.
Therefore, the identity of this sword is about to emerge, unless it is a carefully prepared scam.
The enemy who annihilates the enemy is also called the enemy of the dragon.
This is a holy sword.
His heart thumped, because at that moment Tata and Nini both reacted.
Nini is born to hate the aura of the Dragon-Slaying Sacred Sword, while Miss Tata recognizes the unique craftsmanship of the Eye Gate.
He suppressed the shock in his heart and asked Miss Fairy again, "Miss Tata, did you see it?"
Tata nodded, "Maybe it, I look familiar."
Although he didn't quite understand why it was in this place, Fang Yu raised his head after receiving a positive answer, looked at the lizard man, and asked directly: "Is this sword and this shield together?"
The lizard man nodded.
"They are good things found from the remains, humans."
